MTV World Stage 2011

before i go on, just wanna thank the amazing people at mtvasia for making this trip possible for all of us to attend the event hee

so the 20 hours trip started off with a crazy two hours queue at the immigration upon our arrival. not funny and they were just pure inefficient heh then we had to get lost while making our way to the
hotel BOO, indeed!

so when we have finally arrived at i-city at shah alam just outside of kuala lumpur, the venue, it was already when BEAST was bout to hit the stage! and big thanks to roxanne's local friend for bringing us
there!! such a shame we missed malaysia home grown, pop shuvit thoughh heh

POP SHUVIT
being the Kpop artistes they are, we of course would not expect any less of those body popping and slick dance moves and true enough, the 6 member group was really good though i was suspecting if they were miming heh though judging from the pleased fans in the audience, it doesn't matter too much ehh

BEAST
next up was the band i been really excited to see fronted by tyler glenn, neon trees!! he was so good at workin the crowd it's almost like he's been doing this all his life but truth is the band only have had 3 singles on the charts and an album under their belt! drummer elaine bradley, bassist brenden campbell, guitarist chris allen and touring back up guitarist david charles together with lead singer tyler glenn put up such an amazing set starting with their latest hit 'your surrender' and then onto 'calling your name', a non-album track, '1983', another one of their singles, 'in the next room' and a couple more before killing it on the incredible performance of their debut hit single 'animal' which left all the animalistic fans gone all wild and crazy!

Tyler Glenn starting the set in the middle of the crowd!

in between the set, tyler was also explaining that it was the band's virgin trip to this part of the world an that everyone and eveything that they have been experiencing since their arrival in indonesia, where they played ahead of their world stage gig, have been wonderful an that the fans have been extremely overwhelming!!

bassist Brenden
guitarist Chris
drummer Elaine
NEON TREES
closing the whole evening was 30 seconds to mars! drummer shannon leto, guitarist tomo milicevic, touring guitarist braxton olita, joined by model-actor jared leto brought 'WAR' with them and brought the entire house down! and while they were playing 'kings and queens', jared invited a group of lucky fans on stage to join him!!

also, as part of their set, they, or rather jared, did a stripped down acoustic version of 'hurricane' with a guitar and his voice. with that, it obviously bought everyone present over heh

Jared Leto
honestly i never knew jared could do such a good job with his singing cause all i know is that he is a pretty boy and that's it. and with that, it totally changed how i look at him now ha ha

so the whole experience at world stage was a really fun one and i cannot thank mtvasia enough for having us!! till world stage 2012..
